ActivityPub is designed to create platforms that enable customized moderation experiences in order to resist corporate/commercial influence.

ActivityPub also resists government censorship, because a thousand copies get made for every post, one for every federated instance.

If you’re looking for a platform where your personal speech can be forced upon others then ActivityPub is quite literally the opposite of what you’re looking for.

I don’t have time today

Sometimes yes in my experience, but mostly it works fine. I suspect it’s a game of whack-a-mole with VPN companies constantly rotating IPs.

When will F-Droid stop working on stock android?

Thankfully I don’t think economic demand for AI generated visuals is nearly as high as the human crafted variety

I was going to report to the mod but… the mod is the one who posted it. Guess I’m unsubbing.

When billionaires complain about how windmills “ruin the view” but then are quiet about oil rigs, you can tell that it’s not about the view.

That’s really astute, I’ve never seen that comparison drawn so directly. It’s the same situation with the people who claim that AI “democratizes” art by allowing someone to have a “work” of art without putting in the work of creating which is what makes a work a thing to be desired in the first place.

Compared to Windows. To be clear I’m just basing that on vibes, and I haven’t done any 1:1 testing, but it’s absolutely not any worse than Windows with everything I’ve tried. But also, even if it was slightly worse, the benefit of almost never needing a mouse/keyboard still would make it worth it.

Wasn’t a fan of their hub so I connect the bulbs directly to my ZigBee hub/dongle.

I did the same, I wish it was more widely known that it was possible (and very easy with Zigbee2Mqtt).

Yep well said. My hope is that Google’s recent changes will encourage some activity into other projects or (even better) a Linux Phone OS.

Looks like this is on their radar at least

There’s no author, and a source isn’t mentioned anywhere.

If that information is missing it’s either AI or it means OP stole it without crediting which is even worse.

I want a blocklist of every community that allows AI slop and every user that has posted it.

Honestly, I like Bazzite because it’s very controller and gaming friendly and you won’t be disappointed with it. That said, for a daily driver workstation computer you might want to try Fedora Kinoite which is very similar but focused towards desktop use.

Also it doesn’t hurt to try both as I said they’re very similar! Would love to hear a follow up on your experience.

I’ve been trying out Bazzite with an Nvidia GPU and performance is slightly better but the overall experience is significantly improved over windows.

That’s actually interesting because Google’s MVNO is on T-Mobile and Google was pushing hard for RCS.

Thanks, I fixed my comment, the article said “similar to that found in the Kindle Colorsoft” and I didn’t read further.

This is really cool, I love that it has a gentle front light. But pricing aside, having to take off the wall to charge every three months is a dealbreaker. I wonder if a solar panel along the top edge of the frame would have been sufficient to keep the battery charged for most situations.

Regardless I hope we see more of these. Even if the Kaleido Spectra 6 screen is FAR from photo quality.

Oh my goodness automatic theme transitions finally!
